MarilynMonbro Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Let's say you're shooting CDP or CCP. Are you allowed to start one stage with an 8 round mag loaded with 8+1, but on another stage use a 7 round mag loaded with 7+1? I have seen this done before to make it more convenient to slide lock reload, but I never remember to ask at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Lord Gomer Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 As I recall, in CDP you can use either 7 or 8 round mags but whatever you use for the first mag, you have to use that same amount for the rest of the match. Unless otherwise specified all magazines have to have division capacity...you can't download to game a slide lock reload. You now, may, however, dump rounds to empty the mag (unless it is a limited vickers stage). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Lord Gomer Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I went back and looked. In the new rule book available here: http://www.idpa.com/compete/rules ...it has: 8.1.2 Magazine Loading 8.1.2.1 All magazines must be loaded to division capacity at the start signal throughout the match except in the following cases: 8.1.2.2 If a magazine is used that holds less than division capacity, the shooter will load all magazines to the capacity of the lowest magazine throughout the match. 8.1.2.3 The CoF description may require reduced magazine loading. 8.1.2.4 In the Revolver division the shooter must load the revolver and all loading devices with the same number of rounds throughout the match unless the above loading exceptions apply.

racknrider Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Had to give a guy "the finger" for starting stage in SSP with only 10 rounds because he wanted to change his reload point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x45 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) gamer, oh my, in IDPA. Load to 10 at start? Even thou the rules require a full load at 11 for SSP, yes, same as dumping. Edited June 1, 2016 by 9x45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GmanCdp Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 It always seem to throw the SO's when I use 9 round mags in my 1911 ESP gun, especially since Wilson and others started making 10rounders.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
